~A lifetime of artistic pursuit and I still don't have the answers.
A poet and painter since before I can remember.
A tattoo artist for over 28 years and an off-n-on sellout commercial artist for close to the same.
After all that I have learned only 3 true things.
1. Never sell out the artistic part of your soul.
2. The best art comes when you are seeking the art itself and nothing else.
3.When seeking to create great art you must let what is inside outside.
Pain, joy, remorse, humor, sorrow, anything.
Be it tattoos, a painting, a poem, a drawing or even just a doodle - just let what is inside out and you will begin to find magic.
